Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg Issues

[j5483]

Your problem is related to your mouse. Check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make 
sure a mouse (usually /dev/psaux) is set. Also make sure your regular 
user can access it. The easiest way to test that is as your user run 
"cat /dev/<what ever your mouse is>" then move the mouse around. You 
should see stuff appearing on the screen as you move it if everything is 
all right.
